Birthdate: June 17, 2003
Seonghwa Ceremony: February 27, 2022
Rukchlvan Matthieu Ntumba was born on June 17, 2003, in Atlanta, GA. He is the son of Kabamba Ntumba from Congo and Esther Banda from Suriname and the brother of his older sister, Sun Mi with whom he had an inseparable bond.
Ever since he was young, Rukchlvan has been an easy-going person. He got along with everyone, no matter the age. If Rukchlvan was going to be at a social gathering, you could count on him to bring the energy. He loved to make people laugh. His humor was top tier. He wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time.
One of his many hobbies was basketball; he was always the best player on every team. He had a competitive drive and always gave his all in everything he was passionate about.
Rukchlvan had a huge heart towards his family and friends, especially his mother and sister. He did his best to make the family feel whole after the death of his father in 2007.
Rukchlvan was loved within his community and had a heart of gold. Those who had the privilege of knowing him personally knew that beneath the tough boy persona that he jokingly presented, there was a soft, tender heart. Often being involved in church events such as camp and workshops, it was clear that he was very family orientated; many of his friends would attest to that. Rukchlvan was loved and adored by many. Forever and always will he be in our memory and most importantly our hearts.

In Memory of Katharina Stinard
Katharina Stinard
Spouse: Jim Stinard
Children: Melanie, Andrew, Patrick
Birthdate: December 23, 1950
Blessing: July 1, 1982
Seonghwa Ceremony: February 12, 2022
Katharina Stinard was born in Irschenberg, Germany on Dec. 23, 1950 to Anian and Katharina Bacher. She has two older brothers and a younger sister. Kathy grew up on a small farm in southern Germany and helped her siblings and father with the chores, where they milked the cows and harvested crops. They had a large apple and pear orchard from which the harvest was sold in a local market and also made into distilled beverages. Also, the family maintained a large number of beehives from which they harvested honey.
Kathy was a good student and was very active in her church and youth groups. She loved to bicycle with her friends and play the zither and flute and to sing. She also enjoyed bicycling and hiking and skiing in the nearby mountains. She graduated from high school in 1969 and afterward attended business school where she studied business administration and accounting. Upon completion of this training she was an executive secretary for a manufacturing company from 1972-1974.
In Nov. 1974, she joined the Unification Church and helped with religious education programs in Munich before going for missionary training in Frankfurt. It has always been Kathy’s desire to help people in different countries, so she was very pleased to join two other missionaries, one from Japan and one from the United States, to do missionary activities in Ghana. This was a challenging but enriching experience for her. She was Blessed in marriage to Jim Stinard in 1982 and in 1983 he joined her in the mission field. They worked in both Nigeria and Ghana and brought many people to a greater understanding of God and Christ. Kathy was also very instrumental in setting up and implementing a relief program, called the International Relief Friendship Foundation, IRFF, in Ghana.
In 1998 Kathy and Jim returned to the United States and joined the Belvedere Unification community in Tarrytown, New York where they have been participating in church projects and activities over the years. Kathy worked as a sales representative at United Vision Sales and as a team leader in their distribution center. Also, for many years she served as the Human Resources Specialist for the United Peace Federation.
Kathy is known for her cheerfulness and her kind and loving heart. She was always willing to step in and help wherever it was needed. Kathy passed away on February 5th, at age 71, having succumbed to multiple health issues. She is survived by her husband Jim, their three children, Melanie, Andrew, and Patrick, and her sister Maria, brother Alois, and nephews and nieces.
